Touchton Electric Service was founded by Elijah 'Touch' Touchton in 1972 doing residential and commercial wiring. Through the years the customer base has included residential and commercial customers as well as schools, churches, and business in Southeast Kansas and Southwest Missouri.
Several years later residential and commercial alarm systems were introduced; and later, the installation of fire alarms and medical alerts. The title of Ademco Installation Dealer was given to the company and Touchton Alarms was added to the name of the business.
In 1994, David Touchton, Touch's son, became the manager and operator of Touchton Electric and Alarms, Inc. Under David's leadership the company has grown and now specializes in residential and commercial electrical service & alarm installation and repair.
